A got a www.xxx.co.uk from Freeola. Normally, I can skip the www. and just key in xxx.co.uk, I can reach my site, but now I got an error page from Freeola, can somebody explain to me please.

One more question: why some websites don't need www? (like those free web space sites)You can only key in http://xxx.xxx.com (not http://www.xxx.xxx.com)

From what the freeola-mod said, no you won't loose what you have uploaded to your Web Space.

But, if it makes you feel better about it, firstly create a Freeola classemail Address, which will also create a domain name for it. So when you do unhost your Domain, you'll still have an address to goto to view the site.

You'll need to download E-mail first though, as when you re-create E-mail Accounts, you may be given different ID's, therefor any E-mail you don't download before will be hidden somewhere within your account.

So:
Download All E-mails.
Unhost.
Re-host.
Wait 24 hours.
Re-create E-mail Accounts.
Update your Outlook to reflect the new sr0123456-ID's for the account.

I guess it depends on who they have figured the virtual domains in the webserver's configuration file.
